Breaking in the 422 and 634XHS. Also have on the 130-GB

@Jett129 what you spritz with or season with doesn't really matter, but I do really recommend a liberal coating of brown sugar after you rub it down with your other stuff. (I also never taste the vinegar from spritz). The spritz is really just for moisture. Lots of other stuff I smoke I use a drip pan with whatever liquid too, but I feel like with spritz or wrapping not necessary for ribs. And if you put drip pan directly under what you are smoking really changes how it cooks compared to having it offset. Try the 3-2-1 method to see if you like it. That gets a lot of bite on the bone "competition" style ribs, I just like my bone to pull off a little easy without being fall of the bone...somewhere in-between. Saucing isn't a must either, but if you do sauce it, I recommend having it in the smoker for around 20 min or so to let it stick on and be that tacky kind of coating rather than just sauce. And I'm a big fan of sweet sauce for pork. Could always pull it out to sauce as well.

@Jett129 St Louis pork ribs from costco. I use a pellet smoker, and cook until you get the amount of pull you want on the bone. Ive played around with different methods. I pat ribs dry and do a mustard binder. Then season with what you want. Currently I just have a pork rib I was gifted that I've been using and add black pepper and brown sugar. But I recommend some kind of seasoning with at least salt, pepper, garlic, and paprika. After I heavily apply that I cover it in brown sugar. Smoke at 225 for the most part. Usually around 6 hours give or take on how you like it and how you do it. Last 20 min or so I brush on a mix of bbq sauce and something sweet (this time it was apricot jam in the mix). Then let rest a little bit. I like my ribs not completely fall off the bone, but done enough to pull a bone out wihour much effort. If I don't wrap it at all I spritz it give or take every hour with some apple cider vinegar and whatever else on hand (this time it was an orange soda Poppi, but I do the vinegar with apple juice if I have it). If I wrap the ribs I don't spritz, doing a variation of the 3-2-1 method (3 hours un covered, 2 hours wrapped in butcher paper, 1 hour unwrapped---but that leads to not much pull off the bone, so I do more like 3, 2.5, 45min give or take, and when I wrap it i put some thin slabs of butter on it and sometimes more brown sugar). The pic above I didn't wrap and spritzed as it went after the first 2 hours. I also went up to 250-275 after 3-4 hours this time.

Many ways to do it, but highly recommend the brown sugar, and spritz if you don't wrap, butter if you do wrap, and something sweet mixed with your sauce. And 225 is a good starting temp. Play around with the temp the more you do it, but I'd do a that for at least first 2 hours anyway you do it. I just bend it with tongs to see the doneness. Hope your rib adventures go well.

Had these for almost a year now. Far from daily wear and a handful of washes. I'll post some better pics after next wash

Some ribs for dinner

Just came home and tried on the new CPO. Usually a 3X but went SP Large with this.

Im amazed at how quick the Evo is on these. Only been wearing a week or so and whiskers already starting

I feel like the 293 is super soft being 18oz. My favorite shirt/shirt jacket. Yet to wash it, took forever just for the creases to set

What's the verdict on shrinkage capability? Searching the forum, I've seen a couple accounts of people hot washing duck and losing about an cm or 2 in length/sleeves, but a lot of folks saying duck doesn't really shrink. Asking because a little shorter would be optimal for where it would fit me elsewhere.

Bump. $150 or best offer

@Jord I used some needle nose pliers to open them up a little

@Oaktavia awesome. Great fit. Can't wait to break them in. People weren't joking about the buttonholes when new

Do the bills on these hats hold a curved bill well? I see they come rather flat
